- Hurricane Isaias will move onshore on the northern Gulf coast
Friday night, with bands of rain ahead of the storm moving
onshore Friday afternoon. From Friday through the early Saturday,
Isaias is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches
across the region. Localized totals of 10 to 15 inches are
possible, particularly within banding across the Florida
Panhandle and close to the center track of the storm. Flash and
urban flooding is likely across the region, with considerable
impacts possible across much of southern Alabama and the Florida
Panhandle. River flooding is also expected, some of which could
be significant.
